Being founders, they also have the responsibility to connect with their audience. Rap Genius is a music site, so it's not a bad idea for the founders to emulate the antics of the musicians that create the material people go to Rap Genius to see. You can call it unconventional, but you can't say they don't know their audience.

Gosh, I wonder what all those people lurking on HN think about us? I had best find out!". Actually, quite frankly, I don't think they give two cents what we say about them...lol. But even money aside, they've managed to actually accomplish something tangible, so for that they have my respect.
